USING YOUR NINJALINE™ WITH OBSTACLES
The NINJALINE™ course is a
conditioning course
: You
will
only improve over time. Do not expect to be able to
complete it the first couple of times you try the course.
•
Have a stable, step ladder for the users to reach the first obstacle from
and start their way down thecourse.
TIP! Use a NINJALADDER™ or NINJAROPE™
as a way to setup access to your NINJALINE™ Both sold
separately.
•
For the first couple of times, you may want to set the courseline height
so the users can be on their “tippy toes” taking some of their weight off their grips on the obstacles. This way
they can get used to completing the course and a sense of accomplishment, and give their muscles time to
develop.
•
Then gradually raise the line (and obstacle) height over time, until the users are actually suspended above the
ground.
•
Once the users have mastered a certain order of obstacles, change them up! Try spacing them further apart
too.
•
Be patient and enjoy your NINJALINE™ course.

USING YOUR NINJALINE™ AS A SLACKLINE COURSE
Your NINJALINE™ can also be used as a basic slackline course, which is great for balance and core
conditioning.
NOTE:
Due to the double web construction, the NINJALINE™ is only intended for basic slackline walking
and balancing.
•
Remove all obstacles and Delta clips from your NINJALINE™. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLACKLINE WITH
ANYTHING ATTACHED TO YOURNINJALINE™.
•
Use the same precautions and instructions for attaching the NINJALINE™
EXCEPT
the height for your
slackline setup will be only as high as the knee height of your shortest user-
DO NOT EXCEED 50cm in
height from the ground!
•
Maximum user weight: 150kg.
FIRST TIME SLACKLINER’S “THREEWORDS”:
SHORT-
Use a short (and more stable)
Distance between posts/trees.
LOW-
Set Slackline just above the height of the knee (standing on the ground) of the shortest person
using the line. This way it’s easy to step onto the line and begin.
TIGHT-
By having the line tension a little tighter, you gain more stability. Later, you can adjust
tension to fit your perfect LT-Line Tension.
SLACKLINE BASICS:
Step onto the line with your feet while keeping your elbows up by your ears. Fix your
eyes down the line. DON’T LOOK DOWN! Looking at your feet will throw you off balance even more.
Instead, by looking down the line or at the connecting posts/trees it helps your balance perspective. RELAX
and keep yourself loose, being rigid and uptight prevents you from balancing properly. Your movement on the
line should be as fluid as possible.
